, launching 22 airstrikes on the governorates of Sana’a, Ma’rib, and Hodeidah.

In Sana’a province, the US aircraft conducted six airstrikes on the Jarban area in Sanhan District, and five others on the al-Jumaymah area in Bani Hushaysh District, according local sources.

Additionally, US warplanes launched two airstrikes on Kamaran Island in Hodeida province.

In Ma’rib province, the aggression aircraft carried out five airstrikes on Majzar District, two airstrikes on the Kawfal area in Sirwah, and two airstrikes on the Jubah district.

On Monday evening, the aggression warplanes conducted five airstrikes on the Harib district, targeting the al-Jafrah area.

Four killed in US attacks on Yemen's Hodeidah
[HodhodYemenNews] At least four civilians were killed, and 16 others have been injured, in a preliminary toll of the US aggression targeting the city of Amin Muqbil in the Al-Hawak District, Hodeidah Province, Western Yemen, the Health Ministry reported on Tuesday.

In a statement, the ministry condemned the continued targeting of civilians and civilian objects by the US enemy, calling it “a full-fledged war crime that violates all international norms and laws.”

It added that that Civil Defense teams are continuing their search for victims trapped under the rubble.

US strikes pound Yemen overnight
[IsraelTimes] Several US airstrikes targeted Houthi positions throughout rebel-held Yemen on Monday night.

Unnamed sources told the Al Hadath network two airstrikes hit Houthi weapons stores on Kamaran Island in Hodeidah as well as an ammunition depot in the al-Juba area of the Marib governate.

Five other strikes targeted the Al Jumaimah area in the Sanaa governorate, Al Hadath reported.

Al Hadath also said that the Houthis carried out a campaign of arrests following the strikes. Among those said to be detained was the deputy head of the Houthi intelligence service over suspicions that he leaked coordinates for targets.

An intense campaign of airstrikes in Yemen under US President Donald Trump targeting the rebels since March has killed at least 70 people, according to casualty figures released by the Houthis.
Suspected US airstrikes pounded the area around Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Hodeida on Tuesday night, killing at least two people and wounding 13 others, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels say.

The strikes hit around Hodeida’s al-Hawak District, the rebels say. The area is home to the city’s airport, which the rebels have used in the past to target shipping in the Red Sea.

Since its start, the intense campaign of US airstrikes targeting the rebels over their attacks on shipping in Mideast waters — related to the Israel-Hamas war — has killed at least 75 people, according to casualty figures released by the Houthis.

Footage aired by the rebels’ al-Masirah satellite news channel shows chaotic scenes of people carrying wounded to waiting ambulances and rescuers searching by the light of their mobile phones. The target appears in the footage to be a home in a residential neighborhood, likely part of a wider decapitation campaign launched by the Trump administration to kill rebel leaders.

Other strikes target Yemen’s mountainous Amran governorate, north of the rebel-held capital of Sanaa. There, the Houthis describe American strikes hitting telecommunication equipment. Previous US strikes also targeted telecommunications gear in Amran near Jebel Aswad, or the “Black Mountain.”

The US military’s Central Command, which oversees American military operations, doesn’t immediately acknowledge the strikes. That follows a pattern for the command, which now has authorization from the White House to conduct strikes at will in the campaign that began March 15

#1 Just a nostalgic look at an old school idea for inexpensive kinetic alternatives.
The broadside video alone is worth the look...

#2 
22 air strikes 4 hostels claimed.
That is a serious poor R.O.I.
Has to something like 1 per $1 million spent.

#3 assuming the accuracy of the Houthi news network, the 4 casualties they mentioned were civilians

it doesn't mention any casualties among combatants. That doesn't mean there weren't any.

also, in a sense we don't care that much about killing the combatants if we can neutralize their weapons
